Wasserson Goes Runner-Runner to Double

Level 13 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Elias Talvitie opened to 60,000 from under the gun and Eric Wasserson three-bet all in for 276,000 from the big blind. Talvitie called.

Elias Talvitie: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Eric Wasserson: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Wasserson would need to win a flip, and the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades} opened the door to some counterfeit outs, with any seven giving him a better two pair. The turn was the {q-Spades} giving him a gutshot, and the river {k-Clubs} completed his gutshot and Wasserson doubled up.
